This!!! It’s everything!! I’ve often called our unschooling journey the most revolutionary thing we can be doing to change the future. Thank you for sharing that sentiment and validating my feelings (again and again and again…. :))
There was a time in my life when “revolutionary” action looked like activism, and that holds a much different feeling in the body. It’s much more of a “fighter” energy. That’s how I was raised to “do good” and I’ve had to dismantle a lot of that on this unschooling journey. Because this journey isn’t about fighting. It’s about trusting, loving and creating. There’s such deep & profound healing that I never knew would come out of unschooling. I’m still a work in progress, and always open to shedding light on my blind spots. Thank you for helping me do that 🩷
Thanks for the great post! This is 100% why we decided to homeschool our kids — we were able to give them so much more through experiences rather than having them sit in a classroom for hours on end. And the results were AMAZING. My son who used to spend hours building with kinetic sand now has an entrepreneurial spirit as a teenager and has come up with several great business ideas, a mindset that will serve him well in life. And because of our great experiences with homeschooling, I’m now working on ways to support families with deeper STEM learning through project-based challenges. Thank you for the encouraging words to help more parents succeed!!!
